No child should be left behind - I've heard this from President Obama. And here, we say in Latin America, no country should be left behind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?
When I talk to teachers, parents, superintendents, my colleagues, everyone wants to fix No Child Left behind. There is great dissatisfaction with No Child Left Behind.
Obviously, this whole 'no child left behind' idea is more rhetoric than actual practice.
Enacted under President George W. Bush's administration with the promise to focus on individual student achievement and overall school performance, No Child Left Behind was heralded as groundbreaking. And in some ways, it was.
'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms.

Hillary Clinton wants to leave behind No Child Left Behind.
The No Child Left Behind Act will be one of President Bush's enduring legacies. And it was engineered and inaugurated with a truly bipartisan coalition in Congress. Accountability, standards, and truly measuring student performance just makes sense. The only real debate about the law was and is whether or not it was adequately funded.
